The Write Focus: Word Count Challenge / Check-in 3

Hello, everyone. It’s the 3^rd Check-in for the Word Count Challenge

here in August, and we’re discovering problems.

I continue to meet my goal of 500 new words daily, no matter the interruptions. I’ve had to write fiction and nonfiction to achieve 500 new words, and other writing tasks are still occurring, all in a mix of daily fun time with family and commitments and responsibilities that I’m promised to.

I actually started this episode draft on Monday to finish words for that day because other things were going on that prevented my finishing 500 fiction words.

And I’ve discovered issues with the daily push for new words, issues related to achieving the word count. Join in as we discuss creativity and challenging problems.
